I was hard pressed to get even this far on PC. Nowadays, getting this far was easy. I don’t really think I’ve gotten significantly better on playing Doom 3.

Playing Doom 3 on PC has, however, had all these little snags. Long loading times. Not much framerate at times.

Most importantly, my monitor was pretty dark and I just couldn’t see a damn thing even if I cranked gamma way up and tweaked the brightness levers to eleven. There was a small note with the PC version that Doom 3 is best played in middle of the night, and I really liked playing the thing in the middle of the night just so I could see anything on the screen. A used monitor I carried in from the recycling centre helped quite a lot - the picture is much brighter.

Maybe it’s just that much of a joy to play the game on a system that doesn’t really have any of these little snags, I wonder?
